I was at a funeral recently for a friend who committed [self-harm]. Largely in part because he was gay and his family wouldnât accept him. His dad was a seventh day Adventist and the preacher was saying that we all have a guardian Angel. That his guardian Angel could have saved him but he didnât because itâs gods plan.
âAnd we thank god for the train that hit him, we thank god.â
We absolutely do not thank god, he was 20, I wanted to punch that guy in that mouth.

My BIL was a beloved redneck and Civil War Reenactor. At his funeral he had a Confederate flag and honor guard. My wife is black. Knowing what was coming I begged her not to go, but she gritted her teeth and suffered through it for my sisterâs sake. As the service concluded they were going to play âDixieâ but luckily (for me) they couldnât get the music to work. I thought I had dodged a bullet when some a-hole in the back stood up and yelled, âCome on folks, you know the words!â. Everyone in funeral stood up and sang âDixieâ in the church, even the pastor. We sat quiet and arms crossed on the front row. My wife and I laugh about it now but Iâve never been more uncomfortable in my life!

Preacher was talking about my mom (the deceased) and how she was a woman of God, a God-fearing woman, and one who walked with Jesus in her heart and all of this religious stuff. The only time my mom set foot in a church was when she was getting married. She might have burst into flames if she was ever forced to go to a church service. She took my Grandma to church when Grandma was unable to drive and was happy sitting in a cold car in the parking lot rather than coming inside.
